This specimen was lot 24006 in Heritage sale 3024 (Chicago, April 2013), where it sold for $4,993.75. The catalog description[1] noted, "Frankfurt. Free City gold 2 Ducat 1710, KM173, AU58 NGC, a very scarce type possessed of an exacting strike with flashy surfaces. Known as 'Storm-ducats,' the reverse of both the single and double ducat denominations of this type provide a very literal illustration of the legend. It is a part of a verse from Proverbs, 'Nomen Domini Turris Fortissima' (The name of our Lord is a mighty tower) and was often utilized on coinage of Frankfurt to remind the citizens of the political and religious storms they had collectively weathered."
